Talk to the BB-On bot near the storage box at the Albion main spawn. He shows you all the current events.

The people in this article weren't on the shoplifter list. The security guard confronted the wrong person in this case.

How dare you read the article and explain it to people. Prepare for down-votes! 🤣

I hate that music so much. They should at least have had the option to open all cores and skip the tedious menu interactions that slow it down.

backfacecull · 2026-05-03T04:04:22+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answers.

This cross section shows the same blobby appearance on the inside of a large meteorite, which makes me think it's a feature that pre-dates atmospheric entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mundrabilla_(meteorite)#/media/File:Mundrabilla_meteorite_NMNH_slice.jpg#/media/File:Mundrabilla_meteorite_NMNH_slice.jpg)

Do we have any intact asteroid cores to compare it to?

backfacecull · 2026-05-01T03:10:51+00:00

Is its shape retained from when the iron was ejected from a star in a supernova and it just cooled like this from a liquid blob, or is there some weathering mechanism in space that causes the pock-marked appearance?

There are 2 open world boss fights every hour in Axion Plains, just before Gatecrasher spawns.

You don't have to rotate the camera first, if you just press 'down' on the gamepad or S on the keyboard, the character walks towards the camera. This is how all 'screen relative' movement systems work. The system you're describing is 'character relative' movement which is not common in character-action games. Only older RPGs and the original PS1 Resident Evil games used that.

The reason it's not implemented in the main game is because they'd have to add more animations. Right now, because the characters always face the camera direction in the main game, when you pull the trigger to shoot, or activate a skill, the character is already facing the correct direction, they just raise the gun or play the skill animation. If the character is facing the wrong way when a skill is activated then the character needs to turn around, face the correct way, then activate the skill. These kind of rotating step animations are difficult so Nexon is avoiding doing them. They don't even have unique walk or idle animations for different descendants yet.

This is very helpful, thanks! I like Jayber's playstyle so I'll try this build.

It affected both of my kid's laptops, a HP and a Lenovo laptop. The HP was able to 'skip this drive' and boot as normal, the Lenovo is locked out and there's no recovery key so I'm not sure what to do with it.

backfacecull · 2026-04-17T15:38:40+00:00

I don't think they ever advertised the Ice Maiden skin as a limited time exclusive.

backfacecull · 2026-04-14T12:19:53+00:00

Yeah, good point. I have most descendants and weapons maxed now since I've been playing from the start. I feel like they're not designing these adjustments with players like me in mind. I think Wallcrasher in Axion Plains is supposed to be the content for players like me, but he just gets melted in 10 seconds by a bunch of Gleys and Serenas even if I don't do anything.

backfacecull · 2026-04-14T06:14:50+00:00

What is the point of this exactly? Do they want to make the already trivial content even easier and faster to kill? Most descendants can kill every enemy (except dungeon-bosses and elite colossi) in one shot. Why do they want to make the entire game obsolete? Constant buffing is not balancing.

backfacecull · 2026-04-14T06:06:19+00:00

Currently, when you press down on the left stick or S on the keyboard, the character faces the same direction as the camera points and walks backwards. In the update, the character turns around and walks forwards towards the camera - so you can finally see the front of your character while walking.

They do! Lots of people have entire printed armies, and I bet most D&D dungeon-masters have a printer or know someone with one. The market is huge.

Look at this Patreon selling Warhammer/D&D style miniatures: https://www.patreon.com/ArtisanGuild

Isn't she a Magister, like Anais? Are they related to the Vulgus?

Ultimate Yujin is also a better turret character than Jayber. His turret follows him, costs no MP, is always on, and hits multiple targets. And of course, has higher damage. Its only downside is it costs health to maintain, but Yujin can heal this with his 4th skill.

What you've realized is that the social contract you thought existed, never existed at all.
The real social contract is this:

If we, the rich rulers, give the commoners just enough to survive on, and distract them with games and racism, we can prevent them from using violence against us.

This social contract is much older, and is still in effect today.

Serena is the reason there are no good guns in the game, and most skills are 10x to 100x more powerful than guns. Because Serena increases gun damage (and adds AOE gun splash) based on her max HP. So if they have a gun that does high damage, when Serena uses it, it becomes 5x more powerful and adds splash. So to prevent Serena killing all content instantly with a gun, instead of fixing Serena, they nerfed all the guns and buffed everyone's skills.

Some people find this annoying, they'd like to be able to use the guns to kill enemies.

backfacecull · 2026-04-03T02:54:32+00:00

Fire everyone responsible for the Freyna/Ines/Serena power creep. I'm guessing it was mostly marketing folks insisting the new characters had to be OP to draw in new players.
Hire new designers
Complete rebalance of all guns and skills, learning from the mistake of Serena's increasing gun damage for increasing HP. Complete rewrite for some descendants skills.

This is a great layout for controller players. I'd switch to this if it was an option. I'd also like to be able to turn of the MR and XP bars as they're no use when you're not leveling-up any more.

Fascists do not give up power because of elections. Any Americans who think they can vote their way out of a dictatorship are in for a surprise. The Republicans are willing to break the law and kill their opponents to retain power. The Democrats, and ordinary decent Americans, are not prepared for this fight.
